Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada has sprayed a hefty twitLonger post aimed at gamers who whined about changes in character voices in the popular fighting franchise.

Harada said that the complaining horde should stop whining and complaining, and instead act as adults and look at things objectively. He pointed out that changes in recording and reproduction technology, as well as availability of previously used voice actors, is sometimes more problematic than it may seem.

Harada noted that even if the actual sounds were left intact, it would still mean little since reproduction itself advanced a lot. He said users are not playing the game on the same TV/headphones/speakers as they did 16 years ago and thus shouldn't expect an identical experience.

He pointed out that many actors' voice has changed while some even retired. Additionally, some of them wouldn't be interested in the gig to begin with, so there's little point in asking. Couple that with radically advanced equipment, and you get the point.

Harada noted that users have even been complaining about voices taken directly from Tekken 3. This means that whiners are more interested in whining itself, than by actual critical listening on different equipment.

One complaint that we seem to be hearing a lot more of as of late is why the character creation mode in X game does not support the creation of female characters.

Well, times are a changing as more titles are supporting it, and word reaches us that the just released NHL 12 will add this feature, thanks to the request of a 14-year-old girl from Buffalo who also happens to be a hockey player and a fan. With additional emphasis around the world of women’s hockey at all levels, especially in North America, it was only a matter of time before someone asked why women and girl hockey players were being snubbed.

This will happen no more, as EA sports has added the ability to create female characters. As a reward to the 14-year-old named Lexi for bringing this to EA’s attention, EA made her likeness in the game as the default character in the game. Just shows you that not every comment you make about a game falls of deaf ears.
